Not sure what that means for transportation specifically since I think they still have traffic in China. Both countries have air pollution
India has a large state owned rail system (only issue is they are kinda slow). Metro systems were severely lacking but in the past decade a bunch have been building some.
As of 2021, the number of cars in China amounted to over 300 million, 1.9 times more than a decade ago, placing a huge burden on the country's road network. In first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai, people take an average of 45 minutes to get to their workplaces. During rush hour, the average driving speed in Beijing can get as low as 24.36 kilometers per hour. Regarding public transport volume, Guangdong Province ranked top nationwide with more than eight billion person-times in 2020, significantly higher than Shanghai or Beijing.
However, the future is definitely looking brighter
The highest urban public transport ridership in China is by bus or trolley bus, at about 49 billion in 2021. This was followed by 27 billion taxi passengers and around 24 billion metro/subway riders. During the year, about 709,400 buses and trolleybuses were in operation in urban China. The proportion of public transport vehicles available to citizens has been steadily increasing from only 3.6 units per 10,000 inhabitants in 1995 to about 13 units per 10,000 residents in 2020.
China has been promoting a clean and green public transportation system by increasing the number of electric vehicles in its fleet and related infrastructure. The share of all-electric buses in the fleet has skyrocketed over the past six years, from just 15.6 percent in 2016 to 59.1 percent in 2021. The total number of purely electricity-powered buses amounted to approximately 419,500 units that year.
...
The number of subway lines operating in China has tripled in the last decade, reaching 223 units by 2021. Moreover, approximately 83.5 percent of the urban railway under construction that year was for underground metro service. Correspondingly, China's metro train fleet has continued to expand to approximately 57,300 units in 2021.
Idk if I'd credit this to the CPC broadly (Dengism clearly was not good for public transit, given the backlog of car driving the current administration is having to work through). But the current government (:xigma-male:) in particular seems to be focused on real quality of life improvements.
